Torches > flashlight. Torch is the original, and its retained that name through the ages, as it should.
What i find most annoying is that my spelling checker, despite being set to Australian English, still half the time corrects to American English over proper English, despite the fact it should actually correct to the English version as Australia does not use American spelling.

Because I'm starting to get tired of it, and it's starting to spread all over the forums. If you want to watch it that bad, go start a topic for it or something.
I've seriously considered warning both of them for it. It's gone on too long.
EDIT: Elven already warned Matias, and Matias was doing most of the flaming.

Could somebody pass the popcorn?
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

If this is going to be a burnout for the rest of the topic, we might as well close it.
We were joking... good gravy.And I'm against warning Seg. He didn't actually do anything wrong; though he did successfully troll a few of you.

You close it, I reopen it. Though I do agree on one point; let's get back to the topic of people learning to type fucking English instead of crap.

Well, give the British something to complain about and we can go on for ages. Like how when I was in America, no one had a proper concept of a queue, without being told to form one. Grr. Probably because, according to Hostile, you all want to spell it 'Q' and so you have no idea what it means any more.

Nah, he's right. You don't count.
But seeing as we're in a "type proper English you stupid bastards" topic, can you explain to me what IRS stands for?

I, too have noticed an increased influx of what appear to be clan-tags on people's usernames. What gives?

My guess is it's a clan tag, or he works for the Internal Revenue Service.But seeing as we're in a "type proper English you stupid bastards" topic, can you explain to me what IRS stands for?
